Videos On Facebook Will Now Have Ads In The Middle, Publishers To Make Money

Videos On Facebook Will Now Have Ads In The Middle, Publishers To Make Money

You might have seen some pre-roll advertisements whenever you want to watch video on YouTube that will ask you to skip before you can watch your video. The CEO of Facebook, "Mark Zuckerberg" detests those Ads too and he is currently planning to introduce another type of advertisement that is even more ridiculous in the eyes of some people.

This new advertisement coming to Facebook videos is called Mid-roll Ad because they will appear or interrupt, whenever a user is watching a video for about 20seconds but this advertisement will only be available for any Facebook video that are at least 90seconds long.

However, this ad has been tested for live videos and the new rollout will be available for all videos on Facebook.

So with this, Facebook users or publishers will be able to monetize their videos and earn money while Facebook will take 45% for all sales to itself - just like YouTube does. Very soon, all videos on Facebook will have this advertisement and Facebook users are now be watching 100 million hours of video per day so this will fetch cool cash to Mark Zuckerberg and some cash to publishers as well.

What do you have to say about this new coming mid-roll advertisement for Facebook? Is it encouraging? use the comment box to let us know!

Popular WhatsApp Messenger Just Got A Powerful New Feature

World's leading mobile application in instant messaging is constantly being updated to be within the trends and demands of the users. Since according to Statista, the application managed to obtain at the end of February 2016, one trillion active users.
In November 2016, the app launched video calls and last month allowed users to send GIFs which had previously been stored in their photo libraries.

But, now the leading instant messaging application WhatsApp for Android integrates the search field for GIFs, simply to send these files without leaving the application.
According to the site Android Authority, the function is being activated gradually, starting with the beta version of the application. The search for GIFs from WhatsApp has already been active on iOS since November, and even a little earlier if the beta is counted.

Before this update, WhatsApp users on Android only had the ability to send and receive GIFs, or send those stored in device memory as we mentioned earlier. This update avoids having to go to Chrome or any other web browser and tediously search for GIFs.

The site Android Authority says that this function is gratitude to the integration of WhatsApp and Giphy, although in some regions Tenor which is also an image storage service is used.
The report says that this version of WhatsApp also allows sending up to 30 files in a single transfer. This change will be well received by users since it previously only allowed to send up to 10 files in a single transfer.
